I do not know if Michael is suggesting to make it different, but if the
difference is an improvement, it may be a good thing. Being different from
the current behaviour should not be a basis for automatic rejection ---
otherwise we won't make any progress.

I just don't know what the plans by advocates of this NEXT/WTREE are for
conflicted cases [*1*] to tell how they want to make the user experience, so I
cannot even tell if they want something different, let alone to judge if
the proposed difference is an improvement.

[Footnote]

*1* There may be other equally important corner cases, but let's tackle
one simple and obvious thing first to see where this goes.
